Anambra State chapter of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) has unveiled plans that will position the party to
take over the leadership of the state in 2021.
Addressing journalists in Awka at
the weekend, the Acting State Chairman of APC, Basil Ejidike, said the party’s
target is the 2021 governorship election in the state.
He explained that the Anambra
chapter of the party is rising up to the occasion following its abysmal failure
in the 2019 elections in the state.
APC had so far won only one
senatorial seat in the South-East zone, through former Abia State Governor,
Orji Uzor Kalu.
However, Ejidike said: “After
appraising the party’s performance in the last general elections, it became
clear that the APC had a lot to do in the state to win the 2021 governorship
election and subsequent polls in the state.”
He said that for effective
management of the party in the state, the party had decided to bring in old
members like Senator Ikechukwu Obiora, former Anambra State Governor, Dr.
Chinwoke Mbadinuju, former APC governorship aspirant in the state, Chief Obinna
Uzor, etc.
The acting Chairman said that
another measure to making the party an A-list party in the state is to host a
conference to brainstorm on the best way to achieve the set out goal.
He added: “Anambra State is
currently controlled by the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). A political
party is worthless if it cannot win elections.
“The idea is to see how we can redefine
and reposition the party in the state. We must take over power in the state.
“We are in business and we must
be serious. We can’t continue to be in opposition in the state.
“We shall also embark on tours of
federal government projects in the state such as the second Niger Bridge,
Enugu/Onitsha expressway and Amichi. It is a Federal Government road. This has
become necessary because we have observed that most Federal Government projects
in the state were underreported and unknown to our people.”
Ejidike said that while the
report of a fact-finding committee inaugurated to investigate the reason for
the party’s poor performance in the last election is still being awaited, the
party will start a tour of the state with the 21 local government areas
